President Donald Trump took a victory lap after Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office issued a statement refuting aspects of BuzzFeed’s article claiming that Trump had insructed attorney/fixer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about the Trump Tower Moscow project.

Trump so far has confined himself to retweets by Trump supporters, mocking BuzzFeed.

This morning’s BuzzFeed article cited two law enforcement sources, but Mueller’s office issued a statement Friday evening saying, “BuzzFeed’s descriptions of specific statements to the special counsel office and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s Congressional testimony, are not accurate.”
